SuperMama 27 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) I like this. I feel like ordering this for my hew house... However they use plastic blades,,, ummmmSorry I'm a total noob on this. ABS plastic blade durable? I bought KDK R56SV and baby fan which is PPG material. No idea what's the main pros/con between them. I just looked at price. But if I had excess $$ to spare, I wouldnt think twice about getting Aeratron. Heeeheeheee...... Edited February 17, 2014 by SuperMama 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperMama 27 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 Updates!ID arranged to hack the kitchen wall on 18th Feb only to be chased away by HDB's contractor at 11am. Nevermind, I dropped by that night to see but nothing was done at all. WTH HDB??? I informed my ID, so he said he would ask his hacker to go earlier to hack the wall on 19th Feb. Hacking of kitchen's half wall completed in a day ... I dropped by that evening to spot check - hacking was completed and debris all removed, no mess at all BUT cement screeding not even started! Again, WTH HDB? What kind of contractor did you hire? So irresponsible and unreliable. We are coming to the end of 5th week since I submitted the request...... Argggghhhhhhhhhh! They were supposed to start work on 13th Feb and handover on 21st Feb.Sorry, please pardon my ranting... I could see how bad my ID felt, he was apologising to us for the delay - which was totally not his fault. We knew he arranged everything in tight schedule for us. Whatever he promised he delivered on time so far. Electrical wiring & SY window installation will be this Saturday Flooring will be next week once HDB completes the work. Understand that he is also getting our kitchen and bathroom carpentry fabricated too In the meanwhile, ID was scratching his head when we told him our dining table is 1.68m long. Our area is 2.9m but considering the chairs & legspace.... it will be cramped. So, we went back to St@r living and see .....Dining table - Changed to this, same colour combi and cheaper + shorter @ 1.5mOur chairs with armrests cannot fit into the new table so we replaced with these chairs - 2 of themPurchases from Taobao Wonder how the rest of the RTers managed Amcon? I sent an email asking if they would update me on the progress, they replied me "Ordering". One word! Wow, so much for customer service. I went on individual TB site to check on the purchases records - they ordered on 11th Feb, I guess all items should be received by next week? So much guessing don't wish to use them anymore.

SuperMama 27 Report post Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Taobao order #2 submitted via Peeka!Added in this coffee table, some mugs, spoons - thinking of adding more items later after this post. The service yard window was installed by a single installer in an hour FLAT. Oh boy....! I'm impressed with the workmanship too. Fast and efficient! Will definitely get them to put up the grilles later. *Couldn't take a proper photo la, tiler was behind me*Here is my open-concept kitchen......... *drools*and... here is the kitchen wall with the beehives tiles where the tall unit and counter table will be. ID sent this photo to me right after it's done, not so sure about the dark grout line though. Should be white lei.... Will WA him tmr again.Electrical wiring was done today as well, can't wait for my TB track-lights to be installed once they arrive in 1.5wks' time. Yes, I am using only track-lights for living and master bedroom No downlights!Next week (end Feb):1. Cement Screed by HDB contractor - Complete by Tuesday2. Kitchen Base + Carpentry (TBC)3. Laminate Flooring for whole house4. Painting by another contractor (waiting for quotation)5. - Air-con installation (We will only switch on 1 AC at most hence we bought budget Midea Inverter Sys 3 - using Toshiba technology only $2399)Once laminate flooring is done, delivery of the following can proceed - target by 1st wk March- All purchases from Hoe Kee (Roz sink, basins, facets, bathroom accessories)- Taiyo Hob + Tecno hood, Delonghi oven + Panasonic microwave- Ceiling Fans (KDK R56SV for living+ R48SP for Master bedroom)- Wall Fan (KDK M40MS for dining)- Multi-point Instant water heater (Europace)- Installation of all lighting (from TB & Philips)- Wall mounting of Sharp TV and Philips sound bar- Samsung Refrigerator- Electrolux Washer+dryer (Sorry, a bit lazy to list down the model no.)Most probably pop by Ikea next week end to buy the bed, bedside tables, armchair, bench with shoe rack, some toy storage for my baby, etc. EXCITED!
